At Micron, we're hoping that we can 'divorce' the end user from worrying about the underlying media type. It sounds like you're just looking at SSDs for standard office work, so a 'consumer-grade' SSD will be fine. A drive 'fill' is defined as writing the equivalent of the entire drive capacity. On the other hand, data center SSDs will have endurance ratings more like multiple petabytes, often listed in 'drive writes per day' or 'drive fills per day'. In these cases, you might want to look into a data center class drive with higher media endurance.ДЄ desktop/notebook SSD will have endurance ratings on the order of 100TB written over the lifetime of the SSD. We've seen applications like high-volume trading in the finance world, or workstations which are used for high-definition video image rendering. However, some workstation environments are pretty heavy-duty. After all, in business environments, the laptop tends to double as the office worker's main desktop system. Okay, putting my engineering hat back on: For end user workstations, the use cases are almost always very similar to your typical notebook, as folks have mentioned above. etc.I hate to be too much of a marketing puke, but it just so happens that Crucial has a new laptop/desktop/workstation drive out this week!ДЄnd the pricing is fantastic! 150 bucks for a 480GB SSD. thanks in advance for any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, sage wisdom, etc. I'm beginning to wonder, since it did not 'show up' when I connected it to the mobo with a ribbon cable (without mounting the HDD inside the PC).ДЄnyway, that's how things sit right now. For reasons unknown, the HDD that previously worked fine somehow magically went to that great recycle pile in the sky.

Nope, this doesn't 'fly' - my USB ports work fine with other USB hardware, such as flash drives and a WD external 500GB portable HDD. I've been mulling things over and thought of possible causes, such as and I also know the HDD was working fine prior to attempting all of this. I'm confident the new Vantech USB adapter kit is fine. When I click OK in the message window, another tiny message pops up saying ' The device is not ready.' When I open up Disk Management, a message window comes up saying the drive must be initialized ( see my attached screenshot).

The HDD powers on and spins, but does NOT show in either My Computer, Device Manager or Windows Explorer. Same results with the Vantech adapter kit: The Vantech has been recommended to me by a handful of people, who all say it 'works flawlessly,' but it also fails to 'deliver the goods.' Here are links to view both models, if you're interested: Well, I couldn't get anywhere with the Apricorn USB adapter kit, so today (yesterday actually) I exchanged the Apricorn for another similar kit by Vantech. Would it be a good guess at this point that one or more of the components of the Apricorn USB DriveWire adapter kit is/are defective? Or is there something else I am missing (not thinking of) ? I am 110% positive the Maxtor is fine, as I just pulled it, and it was working flawlessly. The results described above occur ( identically) with both HDDs. So far, I have tried hooking up two different HDDs: An older WD 20 GB, and a much newer (by comparison) Maxtor 160 GB.

However, the documentation says nothing about drivers being needed, and I would assume Windows 7 (Professional 64-bit) would already have embedded/included drivers. In System Information, it says the drivers are not installed. When I try initializing it, a message says the drive is not ready. It DOES show up in Disk Management, but it says the drive is not initialized. However, in Windows Explorer, the HDD does not show up. When I touch the HDD ( VERY carefully), I can tell it is spinning.

The male plug on the converter box is plugged into the long port on the HDD.

The USB cable is plugged into a front USB port on my Antec 900 tower.

Per the instructions, I have the power cable attached directly to the HDD.

USB cable (one end is a mini-plug which attaches to the converter box)ДЇor the record, I have triple-checked the setup/connections:.

Power adapter (two-part power cable + transformer).

The core component (converter box, 2.5' x 2.5', which includes plugs such as are found on HDD ribbon cables).I purchased an Apricorn DriveWire USB adapter kit which allows me to externally connect an internal drive.

The 'innards' of my PC are pretty tight, and installing an internal HDD (just to do some file transfers) is a huge pain.

I have a couple of older PATA HDDs from which I want to transfer files to one or more HDDs inside my PC.
